SMOOT SALES TAX -~ GIVEN NEW LIFE | Developments of Last Forty- | Eight Hours Arouse Hopes | of Its Supporters. HOUSE LEADERS FIRM Republicans From East Say They Will Not Accept Increase to 50 Per Cent. Developrments of the last forty- eight hours among the tax revision- ists of the Senate have given hope to its supporters that the manufacturers’ sules tax as proposed by Senator Smoot of Utah, republican member of the - finance committee, may t be opted as a compromise to end the existing tangle. In the first place. just the progressive republicans of the middle west and west thought they had the situation well in hand and had framed a number of compromise amendments, when including the plan to increase the surta on larger incomes so that the highest bracket should be 50 per cent instead of the 32 per cent pro- vided in the House bill and in the bill as originally reported to the Senate. republican senators from the east be- wan an attack on this plan. The re- publi members of the nate finance committe a meeting Sat- urd: to the in- republicans recommended the increase in the surtaxes. House Leaders Hold Out. In the second place, the Ho 's on the republican side -lared that they will not accept the i per cent in the income surtax rates, and say that ihe House acted with deliberate judg- en it fixed the highest brack- . et at 32 per cent. = It appears that oniy a coalition be- tween the progressive republicans and the democrats can bring about the proposed amendment to increase the spriaxes on incomes above the cént mark. Admittedly this i what the republicpns want. They anxious to o before the country a tax revision bill all their own: not a bill that has mixed political parent- hood. r lead- have de- 50 So the supporters of the manu- facturers’ sales tax are hoping now at their plan. as embodied in the smoot substitute bill, will be adopt- ed as a compromise, capable of rais- ing plenty of revenue, doing away 2 1l of the so-called nuisance and transportation taxes. and enting a real revision of the laws on a basis that the repub- ns may claim as their ewn. Smoot to Take Floor. Senator Smoot i the floor the Senate tc to discuss the manufacturers’ sales tax in de- tail. Tt is expected that he will sub- mit to the Senate enough of the in- dorsements of the plan that have come to him from every part of the country to convince the Senate that there is popular support for it. The vote on the manufacturers' tax plan. however, may be delaved for ten day: or two weeks. The parliamentary situation is this: The tax bill is now hefore the Senate for amendment. When it has finally been perfected Senator Smoot wil lask a vote on his substitute measure, which in- cludes the sales tax as its principal item. Senator Smoot has been assured that his manufacturers’ sales tax will _receive democratic support: that democratic senators prefer it tc the original plan submitted by the republicans of-the finance committee. <enator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking democratic member of the jinance committee and in charge of the tax revision fight for the demo- crats, has said that he is strongly inclined to favor the plan. Still Hope for Plan. The situation, therefore, contains more than a germ of hope to the sup- porters of the sales tax plan, though, »f course, the republicans may yet straighten out their difficulties and bring in amendments to the pending in bill which will be accepted by prac- | tically all of them, and the manufac- turers’ sales tax then will be side- tracked. It may be said. too, that more than a majority of the republican senators themselves look with favor on the les tax plan, as now modified and presented by Mr. Smoot. The progres- sives are not as hostile to it as at i Polit! has played a large part in the demand that the income surtaxes bo increased over the House bill and the Senate finance bill, and that heavier taxes be laid upon corpora- tions. It is believed to be popular to insist upon these changes. How- ever, the business of the country is said to have been hampered by these { high taxes, and nator Smoot and others are insisting that if money is 1o flow back into industrial channels and not be tied up still further in 1 xempt securities there must be a lowering of these taxes. Want Business Revived Tt ix_not because they desire to sce the burden of taxation lifted from wealth, they point out. but because they want to see business revived that they offer their plan. It wa for that reasen that the House voted for 3 per cent as the highest income surfix Bracket, and for the same rea- son tHat the excess profits taxes have cen thrown into the discard in fram- fog the tax revision bill. President Harding has been fully informed as to the manufacturers’ sales tax by Senator Smoot and othe: The President has not taken any stand in the matter as between the various factions in the Senate, but it is believed that he does not look with disfavor on the sales tax as modified. He is particularly anxious that the republicans get together on « bill of their own, however, and that they put it through with as little de- Jay as possible.

Over his back was swung a large bag contain- ing more than forty “man-sized” fish. They were mostly bass, not one | weighing less than two pounds. They represented Ingling's skill with the rod on a fishing trip over the week end on the lower Potomac. When he spread his prize catch out on the floor of the fileroom he was interrupted in the midst of a charm- | ing narrative of how he caught 'em i by the sudden appearance of the | President through a rear door. The }latter had heard of the catch. News travels fast in this section of the executive offices, especially when it comes to fish or golf, and the Presi- dent laid uown his work when told of Ingling's catch and hurried to get a glimpse. After complimenting the proud fisherman and graciously ac- | cepting two of the largest fish in the { catch, one weighing four and three- quarter pounds, he said that he has had a longing to do some fishing on the Potomac and intimated that he was going very shortly to gratify this wish. To the hundred or more persons who inspected Ingling's catch the lat- ter sald only that he caught them “in the lower Potomac.” He care- fully guarded the exact location. However, he assured the President that he would tip him off when he wanted to know. CITIZENS TO MEET. Parkview Association Will Discuss | School Conditions.

SCHOOLS TELL OF DANGER Varied Program Planned to Call Attention to Hazards and Elim- inate All Causes. Like Paul Revere, who called countrymen to arms against a for- elgn foe, members of the District fire department rode through the city to- day, warning the people of the do- mestic enemy—fire. Realizing that a brass band will reach more ears than an orator’s voice, Fire Chief George Watson or- dered out the Firemen's Band, re- cently organized. Mounted on a horse-drawn truck, these musical firefighters circled the city throughout the day, sounding the kevnote of Fire Prevention week, which opened today. Apparatus in Parade. The band was followed by two pieces of horse-drawn fire apparatus, on the sides of which were placed huge signs reminding passersby that this week is the time to rid the city of all causes of fire. ‘While the firemen were awakening the city to the fact that Fre Preven- tion week is here. the teachers in his Y |public and private schools were warn- ing thousands of boys and girls of the danger of playing with fire. In the public schools fire drills were called for by the teachers to see how the children would leave the build- ting in an emergency. I Throughout the week slides will be shown on the screens of all motion ipicture theaters, setting forth salient | facts about the city's annual fire loss |and how it can be reduced. Citizens Must Co-Operate. Chief Watson said today that if Fire Prevention week is to be a succes every citizen must take the appeal to heart and search his home and business establishment for fire haz- ards. The first step which every man should take, said the chief, is to clean waste paper and other rubbish from the cellar and attic, Make certain that the chimney is clean and unobstructed before start- ing the winter fire. Keep hot ashes in metal cans and not in barrels or boxes. Use small tin cans as recep- tacles for burned matches. These are only a few of the little things that attention is being called to during Fire Prevention week. MAJ. CLEAR RESIGNS. The President has accepted the res- ignation of Maj. Thomas L.
